“On every team across every sport and every business, a cohesive and inclusive culture remains the most fundamental objective. When a coach or leader wins the team's heart and respect, success always follows closely behind. For building a powerful culture, I give this book a High Ten!”

– Howie Long, NFL Hall of Fame, Super Bowl Champion and eight-time Pro Bowl, Analyst Fox Sports

“Respect, inclusion, and teamwork are at the foundation of every great team. These winning hallmarks can also be difficult for a coach or leader to develop. Martin's book gives you the tools to identify and solve some of the biggest challenges facing your team.”

– Kyle Shanahan, Head Coach, San Francisco 49ers

“MMA is the epitome of an individual sport, but I learned it takes a team to get you properly prepared. A positive culture can make an average team reach for excellence and a negative culture can bring down the best. This book will help you build a team to succeed.”

– Forrest Griffin, UFC Light Heavyweight Champion and Hall of Fame, Vice President of Athlete Development, UFC Performance Center

“Successful enterprises are built on an organizational culture that empowers everyone to embrace the purpose of a day as if they are part of a movement or a cause. High Ten lays out how to forge the warrior spirit that defines highly successful teams.”

– Don Katz, Audible Founder and Executive Chairman

“Winning at the highest level is not one or two big things, it's a thousand little things done right. The details of culture are first and foremost. Culture is the heart and soul of every great team and cannot be left to chance. High Ten proves culture is not an accident; it's an action.”

– Phil Simms, Superbowl MVP, CBS Sports Analyst

“As the leader of any organization or team, developing a culture of trust and discipline is your number one priority. There are few things as satisfying as working toward a common goal with a team of people you appreciate and admire. Read this book and you will be on your way to building that type of team.”

– Lieutenant General Anthony Burshnick, US Air Force (Retired), 12th Commandant of the United States Air Force Academy

“Culture is a powerful force that improves teamwork and creates sustained success. If you want to improve your team, business, or relationships, read this book!”

– Jon Gordon, bestselling author of The Energy Bus and The Power of Positive Leadership

“Being part of a great team gives you confidence and direction as an athlete. To be side by side with a teammate chasing greatness creates a culture of winning. Let High Ten show you how to be a better leader of culture.”

– Frankie Edgar, UFC Lightweight Champion

“ High Ten proves that to achieve success in an industry that is both uniquely collaborative and highly competitive, it's critical to build a team that feels respected, trusted, appreciated, and heard. That feels cared for and inspired. If you can create that environment, anything is possible – absolutely anything!”

– Karen Baker Landers, two-time Oscar winner for Best Sound , The Bourne Ultimatum and Skyfall
